Hi again
Right, replaced fuel filter and primed up and she started well, in fact she runs better than before. However, still slow to start. I have yet to strip the sedimenter, but it seems likely that air or musk are in the fuel lines somewhere. Does anyone know if there is a particular area that would be a first place to check?
Any help greatly appreciated as its driving me mad..............
Thanks in advance

on a cold start, try priming the lift pump, if it starts ok,its air in the system,
probably something got disturbed in the test?
have a look at the sedimentor.
Thanks for that, I'll give that a go and report back
Much appreciated

Hi all, after a bit of advice.
My L plate 200 passed its test on Monday, and has now got a troubling issue. It has always fired up on the button, but since standing running on the ramp it has a problem. From cold she turns over fine but takes some turns to start, from immediate shut down she starts straight away, but if left more than 1/2 hour she is back to churning until finally firing up. Logic to me suggests air in the fuel system somewhere. Can anyone enlighten me on this one?
Thanks

Sorted!!!
The metal fuel lines in and out of the sedimenter had corroded just sufficiently to 'bleed'. Quick bypass of the sedimenter and we are up and running.
Thanks all
